Question

Read the table. 1/2 = 2 gallons 1 = 4 gallons 1 1/2 = 6 gallons. If this goes on. how much gallons is 6 1/2?

Answer 1

24 1/2

Explanation:

Every 1/2 is 2 gallons.

1/2 x 2 gallons = 4 gallons.

The whole number in 6 1/2 is 6.

1 x 6 = 6.

Now, we multiply 6 by 4 because each 1 = 4 gallons.

6 x 4 = 24.

There is still an 1/2 left in 6 1/2.

You add that.

Your answer is 24 1/2.

Hope this helps you!
